If you want to take the time, make sure all video is in an acceptable format, and not the least - spend the money on buying these tools. Or you could head over to http://www.dvdflick.net/ and download DVDFlick. It is probably the easiest tool I have come across to make DVD's.

    How to remove a white background with the Remove White plugin

    If you use Photoshop to isolate objects from their white background, you might have heard of a small plugin called Remove White. I used it back in the days of Photoshop 5 and really loved the way you could lift out any object from the white background with a click. If any pixel was not completely [...]
